Fans reckon Holly Willoughby was ‘outshone’ by co-host Phillip Schofield on Dancing On Ice return

Was she 'upstaged'?

| Updated:

Dancing On Ice fans were delighted to see Holly Willoughby return to TV presenting duties this evening.

The telly fave, 38, looked to have taken some time off from hosting This Morning this week after a short spell under the weather.

Concerned fans first noticed Hols may not be on top form last Sunday evening – her birthday – when they heard her voice sounding unusually hoarse during her introduction for DOI.

But after being too poorly to appear on This Morning last Wednesday and Thursday, fans were relieved earlier today when she indicated she was well enough to host this evening’s episode of ITV’s celebrity skating competition.

“Glad to see Holly back,” commented one fan on Twitter.

“Yay! Good to see @hollywills back on the telly, hope she feels better,” another agreed.

However – despite being pleased to see Holly back on the box – several others joked she was being upstaged by Phil and his striking attire.

Although many viewers adored Holly’s green dress and casual but glam hairstyle, just as many weren’t sure about Pip’s eye-catching jacket.

“Holly looking beautiful as always and Phil looks like the Milk Tray man with a python round his neck,” noted one viewer.

Another pondered: “What are you wearing Phil, about time you dressed for your age mate!”

However, there was no pleasing some people – even the good will given to Holly because of her illness didn’t seem to last all that long!

“Have Phil and Holly been to the charity shop this week? Awful 1990s attire,” concluded one snarky fan.

Welcome back Holly – you’re straight back into it!

– Dancing On Ice airs on Sundays on ITV at 6pm
